NOTE TO WINTER BOATERS:

As you are aware, the IVGID Boat Ramp at Ski Beach has been following the TRPA Code Amendments adopted at the TRPA Governing Board Meeting on September 24, 2008, that require boat ramps and other boat launching facilities be closed when Certified Invasive Species Inspectors are not present. Due to usage patterns, please note that Ski Beach Boat Ramp will implement the following operating hours beginning Saturday, December 13, 2008, until further notice:
Monday Closed
Thurs & Fri 8:00am – 4:00pm
Tues/Wed/Sat/Sun By Reservation Only w/ 24 hour notice*
note: the ramp will be closed on December 25th

For reservations, please call 832-1310 between 8:30am-5:00pm Mon-Fri at least 24 hours in advance of the time you would like to launch. A certified inspector will be scheduled to meet you at the ramp. You will be asked the time you want to launch and the time for exiting the ramp. A 15 minute grace period will be allowed for your exiting time, and if you are not back at the ramp within 15 minutes the gate will be closed.
